Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (about 9 oz, thawed if frozen)
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If puff pastry is frozen, thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until pliable.
  2. In a small bowl, mix blueberries, 2 tbsp sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat. If using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with 2 tbsp sugar using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Add egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix until fully combined.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet to a rectangle about 12×9 inches.
  5. Slice the pastry into 6 rectangles (about 4×3 inches each). Spoon about 1 tbsp cheesecake filling into the center of each rectangle, spreading slightly but leaving a border. Top with a spoonful of blueberry mixture.
  6. Fold each rectangle over, pinching the edges to seal. Crimp with a fork if desired. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops of each roll with beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
  9. Let rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar once cooled, if desired.

Notes

For best results, keep puff pastry cold until ready to use. Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting. You can substitute other berries or use gluten-free/dairy-free alternatives. Assemble ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before baking, or freeze unbaked rolls and bake straight from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to bake time.
